Giveaway :: Pink Gifts from The Jacaranda Tree & Co

The Jacaranda Tree is one of my most favourite stores because there is always something I can find for myself and the perfect place for a hostess gift. The store is shimmering in sparkly Christmas ornaments during the holidays and lots of chatter amongst the customers. What's so unique about the Jacaranda Tree is that the wooden floors squeak - how many stores do you know have that kind of charm? 

The ladies at the Jacaranda Tree were so kind to gather up an assortment of pink items for a giveaway! 

The value of this gift is $110.

This tea from Sloane Tea Company is amazing! For starters look at the packaging, stunning right? They also have a great selection of delicious flavours! If you have been to the Art Gallery of Ontario and eaten at their cafe on the second floor, you may notice that they only serve this tea!

Look at their website, you will instantly fall in love! www.sloanetea.com

lotus leaf pressdays 2014 fashion preview

I was welcomed with treats, drinks and goodies at the newly renovated office of Lotus Leaf for their 2014 #PRESSDAYS. After viewing the lineup before I visited in the afternoon, I was pretty excited because I'm a huge fan of a lot of their brands. I was so impressed with the new trends and it looks like 2014 is going to be a great and fashionable year!

Don't you love these cupcakes?! The little flags on them with their logo was a sweet touch.

I am all about the boyfriend watch - this fad has stayed and has turned into an instant classic. I've been rocking a boyfriend watch from Nixon for the past few years. It has been the staple to my everyday outfit and I never thought I would be able to replace it . . . Until I found this Marc by Marc Jacobs one! As soon as its available in 2014, I need to get it!

Fun fact: did you know that Michael Kors is the #2 watch in the world? Right behind Rolex. 

Dr. Martens are moving away from their historical look and bringing in a little punk into their walk. This briefcase is so handsome in all gold and leather straps. The shoes below it really caught my eye, especially the part that says, "Call 4 a good time . . . ". I wonder if that's someones actual number.

Karl Lagerfeld has an awesome line of watches coming out in the new year. This mini bust of him caught my eye - pretty awesome right? Its like a mini Karl on a chain!

Sparkly sandals? I'll take a left and a right please! Both of these styles would look perfect with Levi's cut-offs in the summer time with a cute tank top. I especially love how the soles are a dark brown and not black. Why? Black soles show light dust and white soles really show dirt.

Men's fashion is moving forward and they are quickly becoming more and more fashionable. The gentlemen never had a lot of choice - they could pick from a tie or bow tie to go along with their suit and a pair of dress shoes. Now they are keeping up with the ladies with colour, pattern and fabric. This combat boot is so handsome, it's shape and pattern has been mimicked from the oxford loafer and the two tones of leather has made this boot perfect for all seasons!

Like many ladies out there, I'm always in a rush and normally go from work right to an evening event. As much as I would like to stuff an entire outfit in my purse, more often then not it comes out looking crumbled. The Henkaa dress is perfect for all seasons, most occasions, comes in an array of lovely colours, doesn't wrinkle and can be formed into 21 different looks! 

I have been a huge lover of Mink Pink for years! Their styles are so original and they make me all so happy. If you are looking for the perfect outfit for the beach, outdoor music festival, boat cruise, etc, then this is your one stop shop. I matched this Tacos & Tequila tank with this super cute pale blue with orange roses skirt and this Nixon speaker box for my first bash of summer 2014!

This Nixon speaker box can play music for 8 hours, it's BlueTooth operated, durable aka won't break if you drop it on the hard concrete and it's waterproof! This should be inside everyone shopping list for next year.

p.s. punch buggy no punch backs!

Thank you Lotus Leaf Team for showing me the 2014 styles!

Check back on the blog tomorrow for an awesome Christmas giveaway!

bubble bath giveaway

It does not matter what time of the year it is, I love my baths. We only have one bathroom at home with a bath in it and it's been under renovation for months. Months! There were a handful of problems with the room that were discovered during the renovation which slowed down the process. Long story short - we were without a bath for awhile. As of recently, the bath has been installed and it has been put to good use!

How to make the perfect bath
1. Scented candles
2. Bath salts or bubbles
3. Dim the lights (or off completely)
4. Soft music
5. Don't let the water be too hot, you don't want to overheat 

{Image one, two, three}

The holidays are all about giving, so I thought I would do my first ever giveaway! Fruits & Passion have kindly given me some bath goodies to share with one of my readers. The image below is what is in the gift bag - 3 foaming bath salts in different flavours and soap and hand cream.
